So it's early days...but your suggestion seems to have worked, thanks so much SDKevin! I logged out of Spotify on iDrive and started the car up 3 times in the last day for school runs etc and each time it hasn't had the issue and seems to play!
It's easy to log out of Spotify on iDrive: in Spotify playlist menu, select the "Option" button on the iDrive controller followed by "Logout".
Here are my final thoughts for anyone else (unless it comes back to haunt me):
1. When starting the car up, Spotify on iDrive seems to connect very quickly compared to Android Auto+Spotify
2. Now, there is nothing playing for 15-20 seconds whilst AA connects (fine with me)
3. It seems the issue was indeed due to iDrive Spotify clashing with AA Spotify - so one has to be disabled/not logged in. You can access AA Spotify from the main iDrive menu, so thats fine with me too.
4. SDKevin gets a beer point
